| “The Great Mist Within”, the debut album of Αuriferous Flame, the new project of Ayloss from Spectral Lore and Mystras fame is now playing in full at Invisible Oranges, a few days before the official release set for this Friday, August 26th via True Cult Records. “The Great Mist Within is a fantastic addition to the library of Ayloss and can be experienced on its own–but from personal experience, it works the best when taken in as a part of a black metal constellation of work.” Says Invisible Oranges about the album. Listen to “The Great Mist Within” here. According to its mastermind, Αuriferous Flame is a vessel for some ideas explored with Mystras. “Αuriferous Flame is in a way a continuation of many of the ideas and music styles in Mystras, without the obligation of the medieval historical theme and folk music pieces.”
“The main goal of a project is a return to old school extreme metal aesthetics for inspiration, in particular of the darkest and most hostile kind of metal, a rejuvenation and a re-synthesis of styles no longer quite as prevalent, without falling into the same old trappings of the past, whether this is ideological bigotry or metal elitism.” Greatly inspired by the atmospheric and frosty black metal from the 90’s and early 00’s, “The Great Mist Within” is a truly masterful album, perfectly balancing an equally epic and ominous atmosphere with venomous and ripping riffs, powerful blastbeats and devilish screams. Pre-orders are now available at this location. |
